No Analog Audio when HDMI is connected

General
1

I’m using a RPi and running mopidy locally (not as a service). I’ve got an HDMI cable connected for video output, but I’ve selected analog as the main output for my pi and have confirmed that I can hear audio fine on a youtube video, just not when playing music through mopidy.

Here’s my config file:

[core]
#cache_dir = $XDG_CACHE_DIR/mopidy
#config_dir = $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/mopidy
#data_dir = $XDG_DATA_DIR/mopidy
#max_tracklist_length = 10000
#restore_state = false

[audio]
mixer = software
mixer_volume = 100
output = autoaudiosink
#buffer_time = 

[softwaremixer]
#enabled = true

[spotify]
enabled = true
username = xxxx
password = xxxx
client_id = xxx
client_secret = xxx

And what about https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/installation/raspberrypi/#testing-sound-output ?

Any errors in the log?

Yes, that works fine. I hear ‘Front Center’

Here’s my log when I fire up Mopidy:

Did you actually try and play a track during that log?

Yes. I’m using Moped, which loads just fine and populates my spotify account info as expected. In fact, it shows the track progress bar as expected as well. just no sound.

Hey, I’m new to this but I had the same problem and found that installing gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio got me one step closer.

sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio

hope this helps

Turns out I switch the audio to Alsa and it worked fine…

I don’t understand, in your first post you said you had already done that.

Edit:
Apologies, no you didn’t, my mistake. But I’m still a bit confused, doesn’t the pi always use alsa? Is this stretch or jessie?
